Today Sew Modern is here! Sew Modern is a Brick & Mortar shop in Los Angeles that also has an online store FULL of beautiful fabric. It happens to be located just 3 miles from my brother's house which makes it super convenient for me. {Especially when I need to sew 13 pillowcases last minute.}

Here are some of the many reasons I love sew modern.

1. Great Fabric Selection. You may remember that I picked out the fabrics for my new Come What May quilt when I was teaching at Sew Modern in January. Sew Modern is full of great fabrics that you can mix and match until you come up with the perfect combination for your project. They also carry EVERY SINGLE color of Kona Cotton. Yup, every single one.

2. Friendly & Helpful Staff. You know how sometimes you have a great friend but you don't get to talk often enough?... And when you do catch up it is like you haven't skipped a beat? Well that is the staff at Sew Modern. They really are great at making you feel welcome, answering questions and helping you pick the right fabric and notions for any and all projects.

3. Adorable Displays. Sew Modern has great big glass windows in the front and instead of blocking them with large displays they have created a sitting area. They change up the decor regularly to feature new quilts, pillows, accessories and window displays. It's always very colorful and full of inspiration.

4. Great Classes. Sew Modern knows how important a great class is and they have a wide variety offered by many teachers. They also ofter kids classes which I think is SO awesome. Get them sewing young!! I've even taught there a few times.

So to sum it all up, Sew Modern rocks. Honestly it is my favorite place to go to find fabric for a project. The feel of the shop, the selection, and the staff just make it the perfect quilt shop for me.

I'm SEW READY TO SHOP THERE! I love this new Cloud9 Collection. Those little "monsters' are adorable. I'm thinking of making another quilt for my new baby nephew! Maybe a light-weight throw for his stroller!

What a great shop (love the sitting area!)...my favorite fabric is Birch Organics Mod Basics Birdie Spokes in Teal...I haven't seen this (or so many other fabrics they carry) at my LQS!Thanks for the chance at this generous giveaway!~Terry~

Mine is still the Prince Charming too! I've been looking for places that still have some, and I haven't found another shop that still has so much of it as they do at Sew Modern! I might have to splurge...or at least buy a little of the indigo dandelion print-the perfect addition to the fabrics I'm collecting for a quilt I'm making for my cute parents :)

Thanks so much for posting this link--I actually see a few things on there I'm pondering ordering (like the "Walk in the Woods" Little Red and Foxes!) if I don't get to go to the Paducah Show this year.

But my favorite is the striking Kayo Horaguchi Night Forest. I'm not sure what I would *do* with it, but it is so amazing!inkyhooves @hotmail.com

I hate having to choose a favorite - I love fabric - and I swooned over about 30 different prints!! But I guess Sweetwater's reunion (Johnny Jacks specifically) makes me fall in love the most right now.Thanks for the chance!

I could only look at the first 3 pages, because I was SO ENVIOUS of that beautiful fabric!!! I can NOT wait to start my job as a nurse, so I can build up my stash. This site is now settled at home on my bookmark toolbar. I will never forget about this store. It must be SO cool to have a shop you can hang out with younger people. I love my elders, but it's cool to hang out with quilters your own age (I'm 32 and look 18). Thanks for the chance to win!! Karrie Smith ksmith8@emich.edu

Their shop looks wonderful - the sitting room especially is what puts it over the top of the list!

I love sale fabrics and always look in the sale section of a shop first. And I'm so happy to see that there is some Central Park still available there! Looks like I'm going to grab some of that up now :)

I Love the To Market To Market in both the apple and mushroom! Your shop is amazing, a proper emporium! I wish we had somewhere like this in Manchester (UK). Although my husband and my bank manager probably wouldn't thank me!

Oh golly, they have so many cute fabrics! I love La Vie En Rose, Fuwari Coral, and Yoshiko Jizenji's multi stripe, but I can never think of what I want to do with those types of prints other than hang them on the wall and drool at them.

For stuff I'd actually be able to cut into, I love Birch's Commute To Work, the pezzy prints, Pearl Bracelet, and FMF eyelet.

The giveaway fabric is one that I am LOVING/NEEDING at the moment. Also am a big fan of Art Gallery so am loving their selection of that and last but ot least Birch's organics ellie farm is a must :)Lovely, lovely shop !!!!

How to pick just one?? Love so many of the Art Gallery fabrics, but I really, really love the movement in Monaluna Marin Soar. Could I pull off a sundress in this fabric? Or maybe just a plain quilt with quilting along the clouds? Perfect for storm watching! Thanks for the chance to win :)

Hey Julie! I love Sew Modern too! I just wish it was on this side of the hill...near Pasadena! Ha. I guess I can't have everything. Great fabric is enough.

My favorite fabric and designer is still Tula Pink Prince Charming. I'm working on a castle quilt for my son's new room since he's totally into knights right now. Good to know Sew Modern has it on sale now. I will have to venture to the westside soon!

OH WOW, what a great store...i will definitely have to visit if i ever get out that way! i really love the sitting area up front...that is such a great idea!!

Not sure why, but i am completely drawn to Kayo Horaguchi Night Forest...it would be great for several projects that i have in mind...mainly fabric canvas hangings...oohh i can picture it now hanging on my wall!

what an awesome giveaway. i actually love this monsterz line right now. my little boy loves pink, so this mix of monsters and pink would sew up into a great quilt for him :) i love sew moderns selection and sales!

So hard to pick just one favorite. The Birch Organics mod basics would be near the top though; love those elephants and noticed the shop also has more Sweet Elephants from another line. Thanks for chance to win this great prize! (marshudson at comcast dot net)

Love the store. American Janes' Prezzy Print is my favorite right now. I just love it. Sorry but I don't know how to make a link here so this will have to do http://shop.sewmodernonline.com/index.php?search=American%20Jane

While I can never get enough of Tula Pink fabric (I'm working on collecting Parisville fabric to make her Kiss Kiss quilt), I am totally loving the Outfoxed fabric by Lizzie House. So cute!!! Thanks for another great giveaway!

Oooh!! This shop looks amazing!! If I ever go down to LA I will have to visit - and they have Ruby Star Shining pink typewriters!!! I have a yard of the green, but the pink is so cute! I love Melody Miller! Thanks for the chance to win!

Oh I so wish I had found this shop when I was visiting LA 6 moths ago. They have an awesome range. Will definitely be ordering form them. I love the Joel Dewberry range of Heirloom...one of my all time favs.

I was gonna squeal over Riley Blake Chevrons - oh that was a smart fabric pattern release. Let's hope it stays awhile!! But then I saw Print & Pattern To Market To Market - I think every stash needs some food in it!!

well, they had LOADS of the stuff on my wish list, but just scrolling down their front page i saw WONDERFUL things that i'd never seen before worth coveting! i LOVED the Kie Fabrics 'Hearts and Dots' in aqua, grey or green to match up with their 'La Vie en Rose' in aqua and red..., SO yummy! (Or some Kokka Trefle French Stitch would be nice, too :)
